“Light ; An intangible element creates paradigm shift in the character of  space, catalyzing the essence of tranquility in ARCHITECTURE”

Designed for a young couple, reflecting the dynamics aroused between the extroverted and introverted nature of one’s self.

CASA LUX is conceived as a space of dramatic light located in one of the older part of Tumkur .The road is on the eastern side and it also forms the longer edge of the site. Surroundings consist of a coconut grove located on northern edge of the site. The dwelling unit is aimed to respond to the requirement of the client with formal and spatial solutions. The efforts are made to attain the spatial quality. The requirements dictated the spatial organization with formal spaces open into the landscape area and the informal spaces open into the courts. The accommodation is stacked in ground floor, first floor and partial portion of second floor, each floor is connected with courts and light wells. The sculptural stairs connect both the floors with library at intermediate level.
